Business Reviewhas it that the
Special Adviser to President Muhammadu
Buhari on Budget Matters who doubles as former Lagos State Commissioner for
Economic Planning, Mr. Ben Akabueze,
has been appointed the new Director-General, Budget Office of the Federation.
He swapped position with Alhaji Tijani
Abdullahi, who was also named the new Special Adviser to the President on

to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Alhaji Abdullah will
continue to work with the Minister of Budget and National Planning.

It could be recalled that both Akabueze and Abdullahi joined the Ministry of
Budget and National Planning in February this year. We gathered that swapping
their positions was part of an ongoing exercise aimed at further repositioning
the Ministry to effectively deliver on its core mandate.
